River of Renewal: Myth and History in the Klamath Basin tells the story of the Klamath Basin, a region of the Pacific Northwest that spans the Oregon-California state line. There are Indian reservations at the headwaters, along the estuary, and across the major tributary of the Klamath River. In this place that has witnessed, ever since the Gold Rush, a succession of wars and resource conflicts, myths of the West loom large, amplifying differences among the inhabitants of a land united by water and divided by people. Yet when faced with ecological catastrophe, farmers, tribes, and other regional stakeholders forged a consensus that led to the largest dam removal and watershed restoration project in history. Author Stephen Most will offer a presentation, answer audience questions, and sign copies of River of Renewal.This event is free and open to the public; no RSVP required.
